Why we bust stuff up

Yes, we celebrate failure!*

We want your students to fail! It's really that simple. Our mission is to foster a passion for life-long learning in all students through multiple opportunities to "fail."

Like Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, and Abraham Lincoln, we know that success is a direct result of failure. Your students will fail. Accept it. Embrace it! Celebrate it!! Your students' success depends on it!!!

Ultimately, engagement is the key! We recognize that youth actively participate when they are allowed to try their own ideas, without fear of failure. We design curriculum to provide absolute creative license for each student. In short, we create a positive environment where it is safe to fail.

We believe opportunities for hands-on, experiential, and inquiry-based discovery are readily available in everything we do. We strongly encourage youth to take ownership of this fact. Your students will embrace a student-centered learning methodology.

Failure is bending, straining, and eventually bursting apart in dramatic fashion. The successful outcomes from this experience are very exciting and very real. Achieving success through failure is a learned skill. We ensure that students have multiple opportunities for success.

We are facilitators. We step back to enable our students to engage learning on their own terms. We want our students to want more. Apathy and contentedness are the enemies! Our students have the courage to succeed!

*Because failure launches success!
